A member asked:

Does fibrocystic breast disease affect breast size at all and will it go away?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It could : Fibrocystic breast disease, depending on the extent, can cause some swelling of the breasts, particularly in cycles with menstruation - during those times it may feel more engorged for some women. It may persist for many years, perhaps getting less prominent when you are postmenopausal and your breasts become fattier.
